This is a story(eventually will be a webcomic and maybe an animated series) I have been working on for the past two years. Most of the characters belong to me and some of them belong to my friends. Please do not steal anything. If you do I will hunt you down.
Camellia Bloodstone. An extinct alien race with unknown origins. Her story starts from when she was only seven-years-old when she was taken in by a scientist/doctor and put into an insane asylum not because she's insane, but so the doctor can research, protect, and monitor her. But as he asks more and more about who she is Camellia only gets blank images of her memories. At the time she doesn't even know her name, age, or anything else about her which sends her into an identity crisis and sends her into a spiraling deep depression. As she gets older, Camellia starts remembering things about her life through quick flashes of her memories, turning her insane in the process. However, this isn't even the beginning of it. A doctor named Deern starts conducting experiments and tormenting Camellia in various ways that only fuels her depression and even more so, her insanity. At the age of seventeen, all hell breaks loose when there's a breach within the asylum and Camellia finds the chance to escape and discover who she really is, making many enemies and friends along the way even though she keeps everything about her a secret, but is she really the last of her kind like everyone thinks?

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son.
*****
Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
